That's awesome! Now the Speedway have James Bond style amphibious cars to putt-putt around now?!?!?!
Or will it be the Great Tomorrowland Canoe Race?

That's the speedboat division! :lookaroun
By the looks of it there's some major downpour going on there. Either the drains were overwhelmed [it happens in real heavy rain] or perhaps got clogged by debris and the CMs shown are wading out to unplug them?

Well, Florida did had some pretty heavy rains recently, so I won't be surprised if it was due to the drains.

That is what it looks like.
A combo of the two.
The street where I grew up is a short little 2 house long street, with a hill leading down to a garden club at the end. However, it is also at the bottom of a long hill.
Somtimes, in the summer, if we had a really good downpour we would get enough water in the street that we could take pool floats out and float on them down the street.
When the rain stopped, the water in the street would last for maybe a minute, before the drains took it all away.
It looks like something similar was happening at the speedway.

2 things......
First....Tomorrowland will flood pretty quickly and drain off just as quickly.
Second....I am the only one that would really love to take one of the cars through that?

I would be all for that. But boats would be pretty cool too.
Edit - A jet ski instead of a boat.
The MK has a mighty storm drain system, but if the drains/grids get blocked and a Floridian downpour hits the whole system, all at the same time it can become overwhelmed as you can see.
The Speedway corner by SM is also one of the lowest areas of the park, has no Utilidor underbank, and does have a whole lot of flat concrete.

Epcot has great drainage too in World Showcase (let's face it... there's a freaking lagoon right there)... but you remember how quickly it became overwhelmed too on "that night" :lol:
Well mother nature did drop about 20" of rain on us in the span of about 1 hour "that night".:lol:

Actually, I think they decided to add a splashdown ending like the Matterhorn... Or perhaps they were testing out a new hydroplaning effect for Test Track... :lol:

Considering I stalled one of those cars at Cedar Point, causing me to derail going backwards and hit a planter pretty hard, I'm sure I'd manage to "flood" the engine if I took off into this. Fun idea though.

And as you can see, flat concrete remains flat concrete!
Good for those who wants to know the low elevations in the MK.... :lookaroun
